Rain started to fall at midday and ci.ntinied throughout the afternoon, considerably affecting the attendance at the concluding day of the Canterbury Jockey Club's meeting.

Listening Post, Moorland; and Little River were in front, for half the distance when Moorland retired, leaving Listening Post in the lead. Passionless put in a strong vim from the distance, but though she passed Little River she y,-A failed to reach Listening Post, who won by a bare head. Little River was a length away with Battle Scene and Etta next.

The favourite, Danger Zone, prevailed in the 'Seymour Handicap. Others well backed were Santiago, Valdamo and Bosker Boy. Petuna and Happy Warrior were fft'st into line for home, hut both faded out before the distance was reached. Then Bosker Boy, Santiago and Danger Zone put in a strong claim.
